Eating Too Much: Simple craving or Eating Disorder? Do you eat more often than you think? Or you crave eating food too much even if you are not hungry? Most people are not aware that when they eat a lot faster, even if they are not hungry is not healthy at all. These are people who are on binge diet. People who are on a binge diet usually consume a large amount of food over a short period of time even if they are not really hungry. Binge eating is considered to be an eating disorder. Binge eating is an uncontrollable excessive eating of food then followed by feelings of shame and guilt (Waldencenter.org). Luckily, a person with binge eating disorder can overcome this out-of-control eating with proper treatment. Talking with an expert, perhaps a specialist or psychologist would help people with this kind of eating disorder. Picture for the blog Resource Material: Waldencenter.com.

Getting the medical help would somehow lessen the risk of a person from suffering from these serious health problems that could really impact a person’s life negatively.
